Assuming you entered those costs as an amortized asset correctly on the 2019 tax return, here's how to do it on the 2021 tax return so the remaining fees are deducted in 2021, since you sold the property in 2021.
In the Assets/Depreciation section for that rental property, elect to edit/update the entry for your points.
- On the "Review Information" screen click Continue.
- On the "Did you stop using this asset 2021?" screen, click YES.
- On the "Disposition Information" screen, in the disposition date box enter the date you closed on the sale. Then click Continue.
